The OCMCH is delighted to announce the launch of our YouTube Channel, accessible here. Look out for recordings of conference papers, lectures, and digitised versions of audio-visual material from our collections.

This launch leads with recordings of a selection of papers from ‘An Extraordinary Call’, a conference on Methodist women preachers in Britain c1740 to the present was held at the Harcourt Hill Campus of Oxford Brookes University on 8-9 November 2019. This event brought together more than 80 people from around Britain, Europe, and the USA. The conference was hosted by the OCMCH, and arranged through the Wesley Historical Society and Susanna Wesley Foundation, being inspired by the 350th anniversary of her birth. Its particular focus was on women who preached, something which was constitutionally forbidden by the Wesleyan Church (except to other women) between 1803-1910.

Recordings are available of papers by Dr David Bundy, Dr Janice Holmes, Revd Dr Christina Le Moignan, Dr John Lenton, Revd Dr Tim Macquiban, Dr Eryn White, Revd Dr Tim Woolley, and the Revd Michaela Youngson.
